Stained glass has been one of the chief glories of Britain's
churches since Norman times. Stained glass windows developed
through the middle ages, as new techniques were introduced, and the
art of storytelling in glass reached ever greater heights.
Surviving windows from this period make up the greatest collection
of pre-Tudor art to have survived the turbulent sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. During the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries techniques changed, with the emphasis moving from stained
to painted glass, and a new interest in non-religious subjects, but
in the nineteenth century medieval techniques and subjects were
revived. These windows from the gothic revival period constitute
the great majority of our national collection of glass. The
twentieth century saw a new flowering of stained glass, and at both
old churches and new, modern glass is a striking and highly
effective feature. This book examines not only the history of this
wonderful art form but the techniques used to make it, from the
first sketches all the way to installation. This book is part of
the Britain's Heritage series, which provides definitive
introductions to the riches of Britain's past, and is the perfect
way to get acquainted with stained glass in all its variety.
